Gobert should start

He should start once he is doing those three consistently: hitting 15 footers, featuring a back to the basket go to move, demand double teams and pass out of them.
Neither Favors nor Kanter do those consistently right now, but they are ahead of him.

Why does he need a 15ft jumper, or back to the basket game, or demand a double team? Eaton, and Ostertag never developed those things, but they were solid defenders, Eaton, more so, but Ostertage was really good when he gave a damn. If Gobert can be a reliable post defender, we already know how good his shot blocking, and help D is. If he proves to be a good rebounder and post defender, he can start. If he does those things, I could care less about his offense.

Hardly the same game anymore... Sadly
 
The workability of a Favors-Gobert frontline has as much to do with Favors' improvement as it does with Rudy's. If Favors takes a step forward offensively, which I think he will, then this combo becomes more likely. Derrick needs a 15-footer and the ability to work a little faster. I think Quin's system will install the latter. And, I think he's been working on that shot.

I thought the same ,why does he need a 15 ft jumper,the 7'1"Gobert is showing with his agility around the basket that he will be able to occupy defenses.This is the #1 reason I like Dante Exum right now.The 1st time I saw Exum pass and be a willing passer,I thought powerful slam dunks by Kanter,Favors and Gobert.Utah fanz didn't get to see that with Corbin coaching or Trey Burke not being able to create those kind of plays.Gobert....Kanter...Favors are going to be hungry for nice entry passes by Exum for easy baskets and hi-lite slams.These kind of baskets excite the team and fanz.
 
it depends on the style of quin's game. it will work well on defensive end, but i am not quite sure on offense

So, 8pts 10reb 2b great defense can't start? If a prime Eaton were here today, you can't tell me he wouldn't start for this team as presently constructed
